About Katherine
Her style is person-focused and strengths-based. She listens closely and uses practical coping skills alongside deeper conversation about recurring patterns. Skills from dialectical behavior therapy are offered to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness strategies and client-centered listening help people feel heard while learning tools they can use day to day.
Katherine draws on about 16 years of clinical experience as a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She pairs evidence-informed interventions with attention to life story and relationships. This means she balances concrete skills training with talk that looks at how early attachments and repeated patterns shape current struggles.
People who often seek her support include those feeling isolated, creative people who feel different from peers, and folks exploring identity or alternative sexual cultures. Conversations may cover communication problems, impulsivity, panic, self-esteem, or questions about career and life purpose. The goal is to help each person notice what works for them and build forward momentum.
Katherine aims to be personable and practical. Sessions tend to combine deep listening with skill-based work so people walk away with clearer steps, new ways to manage strong emotions, and a fuller sense of their options going forward.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current connections and safety in relationships, helping people notice patterns that repeat over time. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and following the client's concerns, which helps people feel genuinely heard while they decide what matters most. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and coping with crisis moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying skills, reflecting on what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress unfolds.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for a quicker check-in on a lunch break. It can also make it simpler to practice mindfulness and DBT skills between sessions because exercises can be integrated into daily routines. Ask about formats when you schedule so sessions match your practical needs and comfort.
